Image on top shows my very own Voigtlander 40mm f/1.2 FE lens

I got this rumors from one of my best sources: The same source shared these correct 135mm GM (rumor here), 35mm f/1.8 FE (rumor here) and 20mm f/1.8 FE (rumor here) info. As you see he has a very good track on lenses. Well, he now told me that:

Sony will launch the first f/1.2 fast GM lens in 2020

Note that this is scheduled to happen this year only if the Covid19 outbreak doesn’t get much worse. That said this isn’t a surprise. Sony manager Kenji Tanaka said f/1.2 FE lenses are a possibility (article here). The question now is:

What lens would you like to get?

The Great Pre-amp Shootout: Which camera has the best audio quality? Spoiler…it’s not the Sony A7III :(

Share

Well let’s get straight to th best news: The Sony A7III was the worse performing camera of the bunch because of “the amount of noise is unbelievable, it’s last in all categories and might not even be fixable in post

The list of camera from best to worse:

  1. Canon 1DX MK III
  2. Nikon Z6 and Panasonic S1H
  3. Fujifilm X-T3
  4. Olympus EM1 MKIII
  5. Sony A7III

Let’s hope the future Sony A7IV will be dramatically improved on the audio front too!
